How Marty lost his tail:

About a month ago, we were evacuated from our home because of wildfires. I wasn’t home when the evacuation order was given. I wasn’t allowed to go home to get my birds. Police officers kicked my door in around 1:30am that night and retrieved my birds! In the scuffle, Marty’s tail was ripped out.

Here’s my previous post about their rescue, if you’re curious.

Oh no, poor baby! It's great to hear that he's safe and in one piece after the butt blast. It must have been so terrifying to not know whether he was going to make it out or not.
